So I had to post an update. We just finished a grueling drive. We were starving and it was 9:30pm…read more Eel River was a logistical choice. Our service was 5 star which helped since we were exhausted. I have a super strong recommendation for the Cali 101 sandwich. It might be one of the sandwiches I've ever had. The fried parmesan on the tops of the bread sealed the deal. My wife asked for a custom burger. Mind you, the kitchen was closing but chef pulled off a beautiful dish. I don't normally photo food but wish I did. My wife goes bun-less and they served the dish on a bed of spinach (which she requested and they had to dig for it). To do all that as the kitchen is closing says something. They could have just thrown it on top. I am completely stealing that one. I love amber ale and they make a good one. I hope we can squeeze one last visit in before we leave.

The onion rings were absolutely brilliant, and the Organic IPA was also fantastic. What really stood out was how well Amy understood the drinks menu -- she listened to the kinds of flavors we were looking for, answered all of our questions, and recommended drinks that matched exactly what we wanted. She also had a great sense of humor that made us feel completely at home. On top of that, the atmosphere was incredible -- even the people around us were interactive and engaged in conversation despite us not knowing each other. The whole night was filled with great energy, shared laughs, and an overall memorable experience.

It's nice to have it in town and support something more Humboldt and local than a global conglomerate. We didn't experience the staff issues some previous reviews mentioned. We also didn't get food where some others may have commented. The drinks were A-OK, and Yelp used to say OK was 3 stars. So I'll give it that. Cute indoor setting for those interested in that vibe.

Let's start with coffee, I ordered a 12oz hot coffee with caramel. I was given 3oz of…read moreespresso..okay, whatever. I wasn't happy about it but I decided to let it slide and hoped the food would make up for it. I was extremely disappointed with the food. My eggs Benny's egg whites were still runny, English muffin absolutely soggy and disgusting, with a thin slice of deli ham. The potatoes (that I wasn't informed or asked if I wanted onions or peppers by the way) were so grease soaked and cold that they were actually inedible. My partner's chicken fried steak was way overcooked, hard and tough. Just all around terrible. TLDR; given the completely wrong drink, food was impossible to get down, and no concern of my uneaten food by the server or owner. Not worth it at all.

I missed this cafe when it closed; however, the new owner is dynamic and fun, as is her staff. They…read morewaited on us as soon as all our party had arrived. I had the "Alliecat's Favorite Toast". It was absolutely delicious. Thick slices of sourdough topped with a smashed avocado, two eggs over-easy, very tasty cherry tomatoes, drizzled with olive oil and sea salt. The room has some really cool farm-type decorations, a hardwood floor, but the tables are far enough apart that you can talk to your guests and not have trouble hearing each other. The last question below was if a staff member requested me to leave a review - she did; however, I always like to share my experiences in case someone else has any questions. I am a repeat customer now.

As far as vibe goes, Redwood Cafe nails it. You walk in and it immediately feels warm and homey…read more Let me start by saying, the service was 5 star. Attentive without being overly so, nailed our orders of four w one custom burger. Just great. The menu has a solid mix of breakfast and lunch items. My wife doesn't do breakfast and I love breakfast so it is the perfect menu for us. My mom and I love benedicts and they have four to choose from. My wife went custom burger. Mother in law - toasted english muffin w sausage. Mom had the California Bene and loved itI had the Florentine Bene - mine was not as good. The dish needed bigger tomatoes and one of my poached eggs was hammered. To be fair, benedicts are a tough dish but I make them all the time so it's doable. I would think omelettes or more traditional breakfasts would be better choices. My wife's burger was solid and again, the overall experience was excellent.

They also have several great cocktails and a gourmet coffee bar. I loved it! Locally sourced ingredients and grass fed beef. The biscuits were obviously made from scratch.

It's a smaller place, with just a nice little coffee shop vibe. My server was Abigail. She was very friendly. I asked her if the name of the restaurant was a play on the TV show "Hells kitchen," and she confirmed that yes, it was. I thought it was clever. I decided to have the "vegetable mess. " Potatoes, onions, bell peppers, garlic, mild green chiles and eggs, "all messed up". It came Topped with jack cheese, salsa and sour cream. I had them leave off the bell peppers, and I paid a little bit more for them to add mushrooms and spinach. The "mess" came, and it was huge!! It was also delicious! The eggs were fluffy, you could definitely taste the garlic, and all of the veggies played very well with each other. The cheese was delicious, and it was just the right amount The chilies had a good flavor, and yes, they were mild The potatoes were good, and just the right texture as well. I liked the sour cream, and the salsa was not spicy at all. It had a bit of a smoky flavor. The thing was so huge, I had some to take home. The toast was a good quality sourdough, the coffee was great, and they kept my cup full. The price was reasonable. Thanks for a great breakfast. I will be back.

I was staying at the Bear River Casino Resort, and this restaurant was the only one on property. I…read morewas quite surprised at how good the food was considering this was at a hotel/casino. We had dinner here the first night and got their special salmon, fried avocado, and fried mozzarella. The salmon was super moist and flavorful. The fried avocado was the biggest hit for the table. The avocado was ripe and breaded and fried to perfection. We had some fried mozzarella sticks with a good cheese pull, while others were not that great. We also had breakfast here the next morning. I got the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were not dry, which I really appreciated. It was a lot of food with not much variety in flavor to eat for an entire meal. I'd definitely recommend splitting this with the group. There is a different price with the casino players card + you're given coupons everyday for breakfast. While the restaurant is spacious, there weren't enough workers to open up the entire restaurant. I'd definitely recommend getting here early if you want to be seated in the first group of customers. Service was excellent at both meals!

I'm really disappointed with our experience at Rivers Edge in the Bear River Casino. We waited over…read morean hour for a simple order, and when the food finally came out, it was subpar at best. My partner ordered the breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 toast, 2 links, and hashbrowns extra crispy. Unfortunately, the hashbrowns were soggy and limp, more like rubber than crispy. The toast was decent, the eggs were fine, but the sausage links weren't cooked to order--they were just as rubbery as the hashbrowns. Parsley Garnish was old and wilted... As for my BLT with avocado and fries, the fries were fine and the ranch was okay. But the lettuce on my sandwich was old--wilted and had brown spots. They acknowledged it and offered to bring fresh lettuce, but honestly, that shouldn't have even been an issue in the first place. I'm giving it 2 stars, and the two stars are really just for the server who tried hard and gave us a 20% discount. In reality, this meal should've been free. This is a management issue from the top down. Here are some basics that should be addressed: Old lettuce and garnish should never make it to the plate--throw it out! When a customer asks for something like extra crispy hashbrowns or well-done meat, it should be done right. You can't just trust your staff to get everything right. They need training, testing, and supervision until they consistently meet the standards. Either you're not training them properly, or your standards are just too low. If I can't trust you to pull fresh lettuce for a sandwich, how can I trust you with perishables like meat, poultry, or fish? Unfortunately, this is the norm up here. Over the years, Bear River has never risen above these basic issues. It's sad, especially with all the money they make--you'd think they could afford to hire and train staff who can prepare a decent BLT or cook hashbrowns to a basic level of acceptability. Sorry, but this has been the same disappointment year after year.
